One Month Down

Feeing much better. I had my appt with Dr. Chang and he removed my dressings. Initially they were supposed to fall off themselves but they only budged a bit and was still intact upon my visit. He decided to take them off because he said leaving them on too long can cause infection. Once he took them off the smell was awful but I was so excited to get them removed as they were beginning to smell no matter how much I bathed.

I was advised to begin scar treatment which includes using neosporain, silicon tape, and any scar fade cream of my choosing. I am will researching what I want to use but will provide an update once I decide.

My scars are not too bad. After Dr. Chang removed the tape my boobs had a lot of gook that resembled scabs. But by my second shower they rubbed right off and my boobs looked cleaner and smoother.

At a glance
Pain meds:
I still have to take pain medication such as Ibprofen at times depending on my day. Sometimes if my days are very active or if I sit at my computer too long my chest will have a slight pain.

Pain:
It’s moderate right now. I have tingles around my areola that can be uncomfortable at times but nothing too bad. My underboob cut can be aggravating depending on the cold weather or if am doing to much like cleaning or walking for a long period of time.

Nipples:
Both are extremely sensitive which may be a good thing I can benefit from later. But as of right now it’s annoying. I still have to line my bra with a super soft cotton pad so my nipples don’t rub my bra.

Exercise:
Still walking 15 min a day followed by a lower body work out. And when I say lower body, I really mean it. I don’t use by arms at all. I really don’t feel comfortable too yet. Squats have been my friend.

My feeling:
I love the way they look. They are cute compared to where I started. I do have to work on my posture as I still slump over as if my chest is weighing me down. I am still getting use to the size because it is a big change and my boobs have been huge since can remember. So at times it does feel like somethings missing. As of today with still a little bit of swelling I measure a full D tapping DD. I remember asking for a C. I am so happy he talked me out of that as I would have been very unhappy. Now that I am feeling better I feel the difference in my neck back and shoulders. I did go to an event an folks just thought I lost a lot of weight. I also learned that I have to do a wardrobe overhaul as my clothes are meant for big tits which I no longer posses. I have to figure out my new style.

Sleep:
Sleep is still a struggle but not as bad as weeks past. It’s hard finding a good position if you are not use to sleeping on your back. Normally I sleep on my side or stomach. Can’t do either right now. I do line up one side of my body with pillows which allows me to kind of sleep on my side. But I won’t lie, a sound night sleep has been a struggle. I toss and turn to find a comfortable position throughout the night.

I have another appointment 2weeks from now. Until then.

Going into week 3

Sleep is getting a bit better everyday. Still not sure how feel about my size I think it will take sometime to get use to. I’ve transitioned over to sport bras since they are a bit more comfortable than the surgical bras. Dr Chang stated not to buy expensive bras yet and to ensure that my sports bras are snugged and not tight. Right now The tape around my boobs are starting to lift. As I mentioned before the Dr. stated not to pull them off but to let them fall off.

Week Two

Follow up with Dr. Chang on day 8. Time to get the tubes removed. I took an oxy pill 1 hour before my appointment. And boy am I happy I did. Dr. Chang looked at the incisions and thought they looked good. He touched my nipples to see if I can feel anything and I could. It was so sensitive it stinged the touch. He said that was a good sign that I could feel anything.

Tube time. He pulled the tubes out and it was a mild pressure as they were coming out but it was so quick that just when I was about to cringe it was over. He cleaned the cuts with a alcohol solution and strapped me back up. Because my nipples were so sensitive he gave me some padding so the bra wouldn’t rub my nipples. He said I could shower and not to pull off the incision tape and they would come off on their own overtime. We made a two week follow up appt.

Exercise: I asked about exercise and he said I can start walking. No weights , jumping, or upper body workouts. Lower body and low impact was fine.

Advice : Take Pain Medication before your appointment so that you can better tolerate the tube removal.

After my appointment I went home and went to sleep. Woke up ready and able to straighten up my house a bit. I had more energy and felt so much better since the tubes were out. I was able to take my first full body shower.

Showering. I was terrified to let the water touch me, but it wasn’t bad at all. I did have to cover my nipples because they were sensitive to the stream of water. After my shower I put neosporan on my exposed cuts and put on a clean bra.

This week I’ve been a bit more active. I walk every morning for 15 minutes. When I’m done I have to rest for a while because my energy is still not normal. I’ve been to the mall twice, however I move slow because if I walk too fast I can feel tugging and tightness on my around my chest. But overall everything is good.

It’s been a bit cold outside, and I learned to bundle up a bit more because I can feel the cold air in my incisions. On top of that the cold air makes me tense up. So all of that combined is a bit much, so bundle up if it’s cold or cool outside.

Sleeping: Still a struggle. I be made it back to my bedroom, but I’m sleeping on my back because I can’t quite sleep on my side because if I do I feel the other boob stretching. There’s still swelling but not as bad as week one. When waking up I’m a bit stiff. I feel like the tin man but once I start moving around I loosen up.

My feelings: missing my boobs at times. I’m mean let’s be real coming from a G to a D or DD (not sure which yet) seems drastic. Right now I feel flat chested, but I’m patiently waiting for the final results. I have noticed marks that looks like stretch marks from the skin pulling. I’ll have to ask Dr. Chang about it and hopefully it’s temporary.
